Fantastic news to know we still have a safe haven. Thank you for giving up your time to help keep the Exile's merry band together. Any chance of pruning some of last years stuff? Looking forward to finding which names you've booby trapped this year

Thanks for the splendid job last year and looking forward to your keeping us all in line, and on our toes, this year too.

It's great to have such a positive 'community' site where we Strictly fanatics can indulge our passion without fear of boring our family/partner/other half/colleagues/strangers on the bus to death with our obsession.

Here's to a good series!

p.s. I've deliberately left your naughty ' auto-change' from the word A D M I N, as I think you truly deserve the title 'creature of beauty and wonderment'

Hi and thanks dear Creature of beauty and wonderment from me too. I'm really looking forward to this series and to enjoying it with my friends on these boards. I notice that Housewives choice and put a vest on you strumpet still have auto changes on their names. I do hope we're going to see more of that as the series progresses and we get to know our celebs better. Dancers too or course. I wonder if Zoe Ball will earn an auto change? A nice/funny one I hope. She's not as wonderful as Claudia of course, (what - no name change for the goddess Claudia any more? Where's the loyalty? ) but I like Zoe a lot and rooted for her when she danced with Ian. Thanks again.
